Thank you, the company have told me they are waiting for stock to come in and I will be getting replacements:cool:
 
Try reading the post you will see it been explained about the front springs!:shrug:


Also rake? what is is rake? I used one to rake up my grass on my lawn yesterday and dont remember fitting it to my car as a modification:shrug:
 
car looks great man! rake is basicly the angle the car sits at, such as the front end being a touch lower than the rear. If you think of the classic american hot rod with the front end lower than the rear, that's a good example of "rake".
 
Thank you, now I understand:cool: As for the Rake..... I have and others have mentioned that the Rake is down to a problem I have been having with my front spring's :cool:

These little things come to try us Ron, you know the problems I have been having with the tourer suspension, had two attempts at lowering it so far, but as it is over 200 lbs lighter than a standard car the back end refuses to drop. Nil desperandum old chap you'll get there eventually.
O and by the way the Jolly Roger looks as good as ever.
